The other day, MSG Network was replaying a "classic" Rangers game from the 1986 playoffs. The first thing I noticed was that Phil Esposito was the announcer. The next season, Esposito became Rangers GM, and was replaced in the broadcast booth by former Rangers goalie John Davidson.

Since then, JD has been a Rangers fixture, becoming not only an announcer but the voice of the franchise.

Now that former MSG executive Dave Checketts is among a group purchasing the St. Louis Blues, Davidson is expected to join the Blues as president and/or GM. If that is the case, tomorrow will be the last time Davidson announces a Rangers game.

Change is a part of life, but after 20 seasons, it's hard to imagine the Rangers without JD.
